Earlier this month, the Permanent Representation of Malta to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) participated in the 112th Session of the Executive Council in The Hague.

During the session, the Executive Council adopted a decision, which was also co-sponsored by Malta, to reinstate the rights and privileges of the Syrian Arab Republic under the Chemical Weapons Convention. The decision reflects significant progress in cooperation between the Syrian authorities and the OPCW Technical Secretariat, including efforts to address outstanding chemical weapons-related issues.

Since this was Ambassador Fernando Arias’, last Executive Council meeting in his capacity as Director General, we would like to join other delegations in expressing our appreciation for the service and commitment which DG Arias has offered towards the implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention.

In his address, Ambassador Curmi highlighted the persistent gap between well-established legal protections for children and their implementation in practice, underscoring that children continue to experience disproportionate and accelerated harm in conflict situations. He outlined Malta’s leadership in addressing these gaps, including Malta’s leadership on the CAAC file during the 2023-2024 United Nations Security Council term.
